Storing leather in a warm dry cupboard???

[Stuno1]

Just moved to Chelmsford and have a big cupboard but is has a boiler in it. Will storing my leathers in it dry them out? It is fairly warm.

Alternatively I have a garage but I could store them in. If that's the best option, anyone recommend a storage unit/rail ?

Not sure what you mean by dry them out?
The garage might cause them to get damp and mouldy and ruin them.
The warm dry cupboard will be perfect as it will dry them out and keep them dry.
If you're worried that they will be damaged by being too dry, rub some leather food in from Halfords before you store them and do it again when you take them out of there.
Hope this helps.

Just make sure they're clean before you store them. As said above, give them a good feed first. Jobs a goodun

I keep my leathers in a wardrobe next to a radiator, never had a problem with the leather becoming hard or too dry, I give them a regular feed with auto glym and a wipe over with car leather wipes. Keeps them as good as new soft and supple.

I would not store them in the garage

I store mine in the garage, then again it's dry and heated 

I wouldn't keep them n an airing cupboard as that may well dry them out, give them a clean and feed and store them in a wardrobe in a cover

They will turn mouldy if left in the garage unless it is heated. I've had this happen to bike luggage.

Thanks all. Wardrobe it is. I use a leather feeder that holds natural oils of the leather in. Was worried about heat drying and splitting the leather.

Mine hang off the side of my wardrobe near the rad in my bedroom. No problems at all.
